I've had this one so long, and have it in several places in the garden.. A real trooper in all kinds of soils and conditions. I got it as Stepping Out, but more likely is 'Classic Look' or 'Rare Treat' (although I think it's taller). I will have those to check against this year, thanks to Tom.

A friend had this growing in her garden and I was bewitched.. There's so much I love about this Iris...


'That's All Folks'... just wow. I literally squealed with delight the first time this opened.


'Engagement Ring'.. those ruffles! First time blooming this past Spring, but I'm seeing a lot of increases.


Another Ghio that I've become quite smitten with is 'Brouhaha'.. I really do like the Emma Cook patterns, it seems. And ruffles.


Another outstanding performer that I've had a while is 'Dynamite'.
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
